2006 was the 20th Anniversary of the popular American Silver Eagle series, and to celebrate the US Mint released a new finish for the coin - Burnished! Exclusively struck at the West Point Mint, Burnished Silver Eagles became a yearly special release that is eagerly awaited by collectors ever since. Burnished finish Silver Eagles are twice as rare as Proof Silver Eagles, and 50x as rare as Bullion Strike Silver Eagles, because so few are minted each year.
The special finish that defines the Burnished Silver Eagle is what makes it so rare, they are simply harder to produce. This special finish is achieved through an intensive minting process where the dies are rolled in massive vats of metal beads to smooth the surfaces of the planchet before they are struck, giving the coin a special matte finish. This is a fantastic opportunity to own the first year of issue of the Burnished Silver Eagles in their original mint packaging. In MS70, these coins sell for hundreds of dollars! Collect yours in its original Brilliant Uncirculated condition to secure this key date Silver Eagle without breaking the bank today!
